RE: Can't get a remote console from home

No, and I'm assuming that's the problem. It has V5R3M0 SI10817!!

I should have been more diligent in scoping out this replacement machine
(a Dell XPS M1210) when my other machine died in September. Since the
older machine could do the Q#HMC thing from home, I assumed this one
would too, because it's newer. All I checked was the VPN and emulation
to port 23. To further my defense, the tech who configured the machine
has been good about installing the latest client. But not in this case.
Also, the machine just sits at home for work use only, it's not
something I lug home everyday.

Thanks for all the replies!

password anyway. You won't succeed in that case.

Yesterday I tried getting a remote console from my home and I kept
getting a timeout message. I was using a Cisco VPN and could ping the

HMC but I couldn't get a remote session. I could get a typical PC5250

port 21 session, just not the console using port 2300 and user Q#HMC.

I can get the console from my work desktop right now, so I believe I'm

using the right configuration and user name.

Any advice?
